Robot Replicas Optimus Prime

After acquiring RR BB in the previous post/review, I had high expectations for this "poor-man's" revoltech. Priced at RM50 per piece, it is definitely cheaper than original revoltechs (priced between RM80 to RM90 - depending on character and availability)


Unfortunately the next RR I bought was Barricade and it was total crap IMHO. Lousy joints and lack the already limited poseability of the RR BB. When I came across RR Op, I was quite skeptical after my lack my faith in Barricade.

Now to the nitty gritty. The PVC quality is the same with the other RRs. But what actually turned me over was the mold detail.



First of all, the detail on RR Op is miles better than RR BB and RR Barricade. The details on the head is awesome and it replicated the details of the movie Op nicely. The same goes for the rest of the detailing of the whole figure.

In terms of poseability, it might be no revoltech, but after the debacle with Barricade, I was surprised with the joints and poses thet he can pull off. I begin to wonder is this a RM50 toy? Not bad.....

RR OP comes with his Pulse Blaster that can be attached on his right arm. No gimmicks here, just an add on. But it comes around nicely.


Now for the bad.

The paint job on his head is HORRID. There are no paint on the sides of his head and it is packaged in its PVC color - gray. I had to do some detailing on the head and other parts of the body to make it look serviceable. But even with this nitpick, the flames that adorned his feet came out nicely off the package and I was glad no touch ups are required. :)

Overall, a solid figure for its price and I recommend this to those who wants a TFTM actionmaster.



My score? A solid 7/10.
